SADIE: I really didn't feel like socializing today....like at all. And apparently that was very smart on my part. But until we get there, something else happens....

"If I could have your attention." Dr Saltzman's voice comes over the loudspeaker. Sadie sets her book down. "Last night we were able to capture a monster here on the grounds. We have everything under control. But given this potential danger, it is with a heavy heart that I must postpone the talent show.  Hopefully, we'll be able to reschedule this... unique event... at a later date. A much, much later date."

Sadie shrugs, going back to her book

Then, a few minutes later, another announcement comes from the loudspeaker

"Good news, friends." Lizzie's voice says. Sadie puts her book down, turning her head in confusion. "The talent show is going on as previously scheduled."

"Ugh." Sadie groans, slumping back in bed and pulling the covers over her head

SADIE: I never participate in the talent show, for either the wolves or the witches. It's just... not my thing.

Landon and Hope bust into Sadie's room

Sadie turns over in bed, startled

"What're you doing?" Sadie asks, sitting up and pulling her covers off of her

Landon runs over to her and grabs her head

"What're you--" Sadie tries, fighting him

Landon shines a bright light in her face

"Ah!" Sadie groans, pulling away

"I didn't see any trails." Landon says

"What are you guys talking about?" Sadie asks

"There's these weird slugs that have been making people act nice." Hope says

"Like scary nice." Landon says. "They've been transferring through people when they touch and infect them.

"I've been in my room all day." Sadie says

"You haven't come into contact with anyone?" Hope asks

"No." Sadie says. "I had a nightmare remember? I didn't feel like dealing with people today. And apparently I had good reason to." She puts her hands to her head. "I'm sorry, I just woke up, you're going to have to explain almost everything again."

"We can explain on the way." Hope says, grabbing Sadie's hand and pulling her out of bed

Sadie runs with the two down to the hallway
